Dan Gurney and his long career in motorsports were honored Sunday during the final day of the 15th annual Goodwood Revival. Event organizer and chief executive Charles March, aka the Earl of March, gave a heartfelt tribute to Gurney, thanking him for his many achievements in a long and successful motorsports career.

Many of Gurney's former race cars were on the track for exhibition runs as part of the tribute.

For this year's special recognition, Goodwood organizers rekindled the "Dan Gurney for President," campaign first started in 1964, and if the attendees at this year's event, some 150,000 for the three-days, had something to say in the matter, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. would have a new resident next year.

The campaign resurrection is fitting at the Revival as the event is all about looking back on our rich past and celebrating all that was good, right and fun.

Gurney summed it up best: "The Goodwood Revival is a magical look back in time."
